Hatyai chokes on piles of rotting waste after floods, foul smell spreads citywide


BANGKOK: As floodwaters recede and Hatyai enters the recovery phase on December 2, residents have begun cleaning their homes and piling flood-damaged belongings along streets across the municipality.

Many waterlogged items have now rotted, producing strong foul odours across the city, especially around fresh markets and shops selling chilled meat, where spoiled produce has begun to smell heavily. Some areas still lack water for cleaning.
